Abstract
THE Tawareks, in common with other African tribes which live in the northern half of Africa, have long been an object of curiosity and interest to European scholars and travellers, but in spite of all the researches which have been made into the history of their origin and language, many problems concerning them remain unsolved to the present time. One thing about them is certain, which is that they have made their name to become a real terror among the peoples who live on the borders of their country, and although they inhabit a region which is estimated by Mr. Harding King to be as large as Russia, and are, indeed, a nation which will have to be reckoned with one day by civilised nations, no systematic attempt has been made to collect facts about and statistics of their country and its resources.
